ThePenitentMan1 743 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I had a really good night at work last night! I'm really liking this "Indiana Broughton" mix I tried through the shift: Raiders Of The Lost Ark (Williams) Lost In Space (Broughton) Rescuers Down Under (Broughton) Temple Of Doom (Williams) Towards the end of the shift, when one of my coworkers offered to finish the order-picking for me so I could go home early, it was right when I got to the last half-hour of ToD. I declined the offer and picked the hell out of those last few orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, and it's reflected in some of Sakamoto's Badalamenti-like textures (only a PLUS in my book....just to make that clear). But I remember loving the show at the time, and digging that whole VR aspect. There was another show around the same time, called VR5, which I also watched and sometimes confuse with this show. Decent Frizzell score on that one. Naïve Old Fart and bruce marshall 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great score though. Will give the sequel a listen later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Guernsey 2,284 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Such a charming score and a shame he didn’t return for the sequel (notwithstanding than Dario Marianelli's score is lovely too). I’m guessing it’s more likely Marianelli will come back for the third movie which was recently announced. Either way, look forward to it. The first two are great.

crocodile 8,012 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Interstellar by Hans Zimmer. Definitely one of his finest works. I remember having an instant emotional reaction to this score. After a decade of relentless ostinatos, it came as a real surprise to have such an emotional and almost spiritual experience in a Nolan film. It's not necessarily all gold but I think he really nailed it dramatically. And it works great on an album as well.
